HEAR MY STORY

Through my story, may we both see my military service as a corporate strength and competitive advantage.

Since 2015, Battle Tested has cultivated and shared stories from veterans - not just about their service, but about how they have gone on to innovate, create and impact. Here are stories about embracing entrepreneurship, becoming an adult student, transitioning into the civilian space, and much, much more.

Battle Tested Veteran and Board Member Cory Boatwright shares the best decision he ever made - joining the Air Force - and the second best decision he ever made -getting out. Hear his story.

Matthew "Griff" Griffin deployed four times to Iraq and Afghanistan as a Company Fire Support Officer. He planned and participated in over 100 special operations direct action missions. After departing the military in 2006 as a captain, Griff worked in the defense sector that eventually led him back to Afghanistan to assist with medical infrastructure development.

Battle Tested Veterans showcased the diversity of veterans and why our best days are yet to come. The live event took place in San Francisco, California at the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center on Veterans Day 2015. Ten veterans shared their stories of transition and success to help challenge the narrative about veterans in movies and mainstream media - that veterans are broken and need help.

To change these misconceptions, we must first change the conversation around veterans. Battle Tested Veterans uses the power of first person-narratives to cultivate a deeper understanding of military service and the skills our veterans are ready to bring to the private sector.
